Hello everyone, well I wanted to celebrate 3 yrs smoke free but forgot that I even smoked so 1102 days later (just over 3 yrs) I'm celebrating woohoo. So 1102 days ago I decided that after 33 yrs of smoking, coughing, weasing out of breath and stinking like an ashtray it was time to quit. So I went and seen the doctor got patches and was told to sign up here as part of the deal with prescribed quit methods so here I am and what a journey it has been. For the first three weeks it wasn't to bad with the patches, I was unemployed so just stayed inside reading stories and experience's on here writing my own experience's at the time it really helped being part of icanquit. Then I weaned off the patches at the end of the month, I was nicotine free and didn't my cravings let me know they were at me constantly and I was sick and tired of cleaning the house the dishes the vacuuming so I went outside and looked for something to do that I had not done with a smoke in my hand. The only thing I could think of was to weed the lawn with a fork never did that before therefore hadn't smoked doing it so for weeks I weeded the lawn when I was home to stop the cravings, don't want to put anyone off quitting but weeding didn't help with the sleepless nights, hot cold sweats the nausea, not eating probably not sure if you're arthur or martha for almost three months but after battling through all that one day at a time It got so much better cravings where easier to push aside and I could get on with life without smokes and nicotine. Icanquit community is a great help so stay in touch share your experiences and stay quit one day at a time. IF I CAN DO IT YOU CAN TO.
